A moment later, Zhou Bai put on his equipment, took his weapon and left the territory.
Not long after leaving the territory, Zhou Bai noticed the difference in the environment.
She could no longer find any trace of the former villa area around her. The original garden grove had long been covered by the forest, and the trees had grown much taller. From a distance, they looked so densely packed that they looked like a primeval forest.
The world is different!
At this moment, Zhou Bai's cognition was clearer than ever before.
Of course, if we look at it from Zhou Bai's perspective as a lord at this time, this is a good thing.
Because the environment has become more primitive and there are more supplies around.
For example, various small areas with labels began to appear on the map, including cloud forests, bushes, waterfalls, bamboo forests, hills, rocky forests, caves, lakes... countless.
Not surprisingly, these territories will also be points where residents of the territory can collect supplies in the future.
Of course, supplies cannot be collected at will. There will basically be monsters roaming around near the supply points, and the danger is relatively high.
...
...
At this time, Zhou Bai followed the lord's map and came to a bush where there were relatively few monsters and no other people.
As soon as he arrived, Zhou Bai noticed that there were some bright red fruits hanging on several plants in the bushes.
Zhou Bai reached out to collect the information, and soon the system sent a notification.
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 1 wild berry, 1 experience point]
After collecting it, Zhou Bai was able to see its introduction. After seeing that it was edible, Zhou Bai tried to take a bite. The next moment, the sour and sweet taste instantly spread in his mouth.
tasty!
Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.
Her mom would love it.
Then he quickly picked the remaining wild berries.
After sweeping everything away, Zhou Bai began to pay attention to his surroundings again.
She couldn't quite tell what many of the plants were, but she tried to pick them anyway.
[Share the joy with the host, obtain useless weeds*1, experience*1]
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 1 rattan stick and 1 experience point]
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained the herb grouper wood*1, experience*1]
[Share the joy of the host, obtain useless weeds*1]
[Congratulations to the host, you got useless weeds*1]
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 1 awn dustpan, 1 experience]
【……】
Zhou Bai picked up the wool identified by the system, keeping the useful ones and throwing away the useless ones, and enjoyed collecting very much.
I don’t know how long it took, but the system sent another notification.
[Congratulations host, after collecting 100 times, you have obtained the primary identification skill. ]
This time, Zhou Bai could basically see all the usable plants near the bushes clearly with just a glance.
Zhou Bai's eyes lit up.
The refreshed world brings more and more dangers to the residents, but correspondingly, there are also more and more good things!
Fighting is indeed not the only option for all residents.
good!
Just when Zhou Bai was about to continue experimenting with the identification technique, there was some movement in the bushes, and a humming sound came over.
Zhou Bai instantly became alert.
Soon, the monster rushed out from the bushes.
Zhou Bai then noticed that the monster in the bushes was a blood-fanged monster pig.
The moment Zhou Bai saw the Blood-fang Demon Pig, his eyes lit up.
pork!
The next moment, before the Bloodfang Demon Pig reached him, Zhou Bai had already rushed forward with an iron axe.
[Congratulations to the host for killing the lv.5 Bloodfang Demon Pig, and obtaining sweet potato*, pork*5, pig teeth*5, experience points*50, and copper coins*50. ]
Pork, got it!
It’s a pity that the pork in this game is really only pork, pig’s trotters, pork belly, pig’s large intestine, pork ribs and other parts?
Those are the essence!
After sighing for a moment, Zhou Bai continued to search the area.
Maybe it was because a level 5 monster here was already a small boss-level monster, and this was his territory. Apart from encountering a few lower-level blood-fanged monster pigs, Zhou Bai hadn't encountered any monsters since then.
Zhou Bai moved to another place only after he had almost cleared all the resources in the bushes.
She discovered that although there were so many supply points, the resources at the supply points seemed to be limited, and she didn't know whether they could be refreshed.
For the rest of the journey, Zhou Bai relied on the Lord's Map to slowly get a feel for the surrounding situation, occasionally killing a few lone monsters.
Calculating his own experience points, Zhou Bai opened his personal control panel.
【Character: Zhou Bai】
[Race: Human]
[Level: lv.9 (961/4500)]
[Identity: Lord of Hope Village, Resident of Hope Village]
[HP: 855/900]
[Attributes: Constitution (8/10), Intelligence (8/10), Agility (8/10), Defense (7/10)]
[Equipment: Three-piece wallet (defense +1), iron axe (attack +1), shadow boots (agility +1), anti-dark backpack (backpack slots +2)]
Looking at the data above, Zhou Bai stood there in a daze.
After a fierce battle last night, and because of the double experience gained from killing the Dark Wolf that night, she went from level 5 to level 8. And after killing a few Bloodfang Demon Pigs just now, according to her calculations, her experience points increased by more than 100. If nothing unexpected happens, she is only one step away from level 10.
But no one expected that when it reached level 10, the upgrade routine would no longer follow the previous one.
The experience value that should have been 1000 actually increased by more than 4 times to 4500.
With a sigh, Zhou Bai just wanted to continue cursing the Doomsday Game System for being such a rip-off.
It’s really not that easy to advance to level 10.
It seems normal when you think about it.
They have only been in the game for three days. Even if they are allowed to adapt to the game world as quickly as possible, it is impossible for them to complete the job change in such a short time.
However, there are still some things that have changed. She had collected so many times before, but the identification technique had never been triggered. However, in the upgraded world, she can collect.
Perhaps the career path begins with the continuous acquisition of skills?
Suddenly, Zhou Bai thought of the residents who came out today with great interest. They should have discovered it by now, right?
Then, putting this idea aside for the time being, Zhou Bai continued to change locations to sweep up monsters and supplies. Since she couldn't advance, she still had to stock up on supplies.
**
On the other side, the cloud forest.
At this time, dozens of people gathered here.
At first, there were only about twenty people led by Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng, but because their performance last night was too outstanding, and after seeing that some residents of the territory followed them and were not expelled, more and more teams approached them.
In this case, the team will only get bigger and bigger!
A large team also has its advantages, and it is much safer.
As soon as the monsters met them, they were killed by axes and guns.
More importantly, because they were outnumbered, the surrounding monsters also gathered towards them. All personnel diverted the monsters according to their own team configurations and killed them bravely. Occasionally, because they were too brave, the monsters that were about to escape were unable to escape under their pursuit and blockade.
After a while, almost everyone gained something, especially a variety of new supplies, which were enough to make many people ecstatic.
The levels of the team leaders, such as Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng, are also rising rapidly.
Among them, Li Xingteng's growth is faster, after all, he specializes in picking high-level monsters.
Everyone knows that Li Xingteng wants to be promoted to level 10 as soon as possible.
Who wouldn’t want to be there!
It’s just that Li Xingteng had already taken the lead so early.
The only one who can compare with Li Xingteng now is Zhou Bai.
But in their minds, Zhou Bai is still in the territory, and his advancement speed should not be as fast as Li Xingteng.
Li Xingteng also thinks so.
After making sure he had reached level 9, he targeted two level 5 monsters one after another.
The people around were also waiting excitedly.
But Li Xingteng's expression froze the moment he saw the control panel.
"What's wrong? Can I start my career now?" Zhou Zhengping asked.
The first bird to stick its head out gets shot. He was still worried that too much attention would be focused on Xiaobai, and his identity might be exposed if he was not careful.
Li Xingteng suddenly came back to his senses after hearing Zhou Zhengping's words, and then said helplessly: "My experience value is indeed 1,000, but I didn't advance."
"Why?"
"Because the experience value of level 10 is 4500 instead of 1000!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Zhou Zhengping was also slightly surprised and frowned, "Why did it suddenly change?"
Li Xingteng has recovered from his disappointment. "Maybe it's not a sudden change, but it has always been this way. I just did a quick calculation and found that the total experience points required for level 10 is the sum of the experience points required for each previous level. As we mentioned before, the game wants us to truly regard this world as real. Everything needs to be obtained through hard work, and the same is true for levels. When we really have enough experience points to advance to level 10, our strength should be significantly improved, and it will be the best time to start a career at that time."
Not only Zhou Zhengping knew what Li Xingteng said, but the residents at the scene also heard it and couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.
What is it like to take this world for what it is?
As if he had seen through many people's confusion, Li Xingteng said loudly, "Everyone should have noticed that the surrounding environment has changed since this morning. It is also clear that it is because our territory has passed the test and entered the rankings. It also means that our territory has truly integrated into this game world. Although it is a game world, it is not a game in our perception. If you die, you will not be resurrected. We must treat it as a real existence and survive according to the rules of this game world."
Listening to Li Xingteng's words, the residents fell silent.
After a while, people responded one after another, "We know."
At this moment, everyone's mind became extremely clear.
if
But after experiencing a series of disasters, they have already gotten used to it and have the courage to deal with it.
It's just a delay in advancing to level 10! What are you afraid of?
Seeing the resolute expressions on everyone's faces, Li Xingteng felt a little emotional, but he remained undeterred. "Everyone continue to clean up the surrounding monsters and supplies."
"yes."
Since they couldn’t advance to level 10 and start their careers so quickly, they collected supplies and earned copper coins to make their lives better.
In this way, everyone continued to concentrate on killing monsters and collecting supplies.
Gradually, some people began to notice something strange.
[Congratulations host, after collecting 100 times, you have obtained the primary identification skill. ]
[Congratulations to the host, after 100 slashes, you have acquired the chain attack skill. ]
[Congratulations to the host, you have gained the displacement skill by dodging 100 times. ]
【……】
“I seem to have gained some skills.”
"I got it too. It's a sprint skill. When using it, Agility +2! It must be because I attracted the monster."
"I am hidden, which can make the monsters ignore my existence for 3 seconds."
"It turns out that Captain Li was right. A career is not something that can be started all at once."
“…”
At this time, Zhou Zhengping and Li Xingteng had accumulated enough and acquired many skills in succession. Seeing that the more diligent people were, the more skills they gained, the two of them had a sense of security in their hearts.
With the stimulation of skills, all the people on the scene became more active and kept trying out their new skills.
It was not until night fell and everyone's backpacks were almost full that the group prepared to return to the territory.
On the way back, the monsters had long disappeared after they cleaned up. Their journey back was smooth. Occasionally, they would meet other returning teams, and then they would joke with each other about their gains and skills, with happy faces.
Before they knew it, they had gotten used to this world.
